My father worked in the HPCL refinery in Chembur. I got to go visit on Republic day when I was a kid, but they stopped doing visits. He worked in the distillation tower at first, but then moved into diesel…
As a young grad student, I remember going to a talk by Bennett where he explained how a Quantum Computer allows manipulation in a 2^N dimensional hilbert space, while the outputs measurements give you only N bits of…
I feel like there’s a lesson to be learnt by reading Lord of the Rings and seeing what happens to Saruman and Denethor.
I don't think we get rid of the CPU. But the relationship will be inverted. Instead of the CPU calling the GPU, it might be that the GPU becomes the central controller and builds programs and calls the CPU to execute…
What if we create a situation in a lab that can be labelled as a collapse of the wave function by interaction with a macroscopic object. Except the macroscopic object is under our control and we can reverse the…
There’s papers that “derive” Born’s rule from the many worlds interpretations, e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.7907 I don’t claim to understand them though. I have tried.
What you said here makes sense. Forgive me, but I have trouble even articulating what it is that I don’t understand correctly. Maybe what I meant was this: if I perform a quantum experiment where the spin measurement of…
The part that I have trouble wrapping around with many worlds interpretation is how I as an observer end up in one of the many bifurcations. Any links you can share that will help me with understanding that is welcome!…
I agree. My suspicion is that token efficiency is what will drive more efficient tool calls, and tool building. And we want that. Agents should rely less on raw intelligence (ability to hold everyting in context), and…
These seem ideal for robotics applications, where there is a low-latency narrow use case path that these chips can serve, maybe locally.
I had the same question. Maybe the train is software that's built by SWEs (w/ or w/o AI help). Specifically built for going from A to B very fast. But not flexible, and takes a lot of effort to build and maintain.
I didn’t think of that, but you are right. At some point I thought I understood templates r-value references work but now I’ve forgotten.
Maybe a std::take to pair with it?
Maybe a compiler error that a const object cannot be “moved”? That would force the programmer to remove the std::move, making it clear that its a copy.
How strict was your elimination of sugar? Did you find a gradual trend of your lipid profile over the course of a year, or was it more sudden?
Pre LLM agents, a trick that I used was to type in auto var = FunctionCall(...); Then, in the IDE, hover over auto to show what the actual type is, and then replace auto with that type. Useful when the type is…
"I personally don’t touch LLMs with a stick. I don’t let them near my brain. Many of my friends share that sentiment." Any software engineer who shares this sentiment is doing their career a disservice. LLMs have their…
Right, but it needs to be formalized.
The reason code can serve as the source of truth is that it’s precise enough to describe intent, since programming languages are well-specified. Compilers have freedom in how they translate code into assembly and two…
Found an article which talks about the phase margin, referencing 80 degrees (pi). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_margin
A wild guess as to what is happening. I haven’t actually tested this hypothesis so I could be completely wrong. In feedback systems, the gain is a function of frequency, and typically decreases when going from low…
The scenario the author describes is bound to happen more and more frequently, and IMO the way to address it is by evolving the culture and best practices for code reviews. A simple solution would be to mandate that…
I do most of my banking and investments on my phone. I don’t think I’m in the minority here.
I've never understood the argument against lidars (except cost, but even that you can argue can come down). If a sensor provides additional data, why not use it? Sure, humans can drive withot lidars, but why limit the…
Layoffs contribute to the average worker taking a paycut. And we are seeing layoffs even in a market that is soaring. Why do you think that workers wouldn't be affected during a downturn?
